 |  Black Hole Binaries Observed by MAXI
 17 July 2011
Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) is an all-sky X-ray monitor onboard the
International Space Station (ISS). Unlike Suzaku, an X-ray astronomical satellite
conducting precise long-exposure observations of narrow fields in the sky, MAXI
sweeps like radar almost the entire sky every 92 minutes, the period for the ISS to
circle the earth, to watch for various activities of X-ray sources.
